Replying to: qbrozen (Dec 09, 2005 9:11 am) i agree on the human factors issue: if you change the location of an affordance, you're likely to cause problems when people initially can't find the new location, or because they are familiar with the old location, activate a function that may have taken it's place.

Replying to: jaxs1 (Dec 09, 2005 9:36 am) You want to go searching for the stuff each and every time, or would you rather prefer to tell the site: "this is the stuff I want to read, remember my preferences, and serve it up to me conveniently please". I'm thinking they are setting us up for some real neat functionality to come. While they aren't spelling out their future plans in gorey detail, they do seem to be telegraphing these goodies... |

Replying to: steve_ (Dec 09, 2005 10:06 am) What is an item? That is ultra vague. Subscribing was more clear than tracking, but I suppose they could also call it "saving" or "following." Follow this discussion. Save this message board to the Message Center etc..

Replying to: jaxs1 (Dec 09, 2005 10:15 am)  , the term "items" encompasses more than just discussions.

I don't care one way or the other about the actual wording. My problem is that i keep hitting "remove track" because it used to say "Read Subscriptions" in that same area. Heck, even worse, its still 2 words and starts with R. but, whatever, i'm sure i'll stop hitting it sooner or later and get used to the new location ... just in time for it to change again, i'm sure.

Replying to: qbrozen (Dec 09, 2005 11:09 am) As for the name change - Karen is correct in that items is allowing you to track more than a discussion AND if you look in My Tracked Items it shows you not just discussions but also any messages that you have bookmarked. Message Center - many, many, many people complained or were confused as they thought this is where they go to get messages (like emails or IMs). We carefully weighed all of the support email from the past years and looked at what the majority of people had issues with. |
